What Others Are Saying:

“The instructor, Travis Yates, immediately connected with the class and made this class engaging and informative. His years of experience in police supervision and administration was evident as he was able to link theory with practice. The class was very well organized and was taught in such a way that it made us really think about our role as leaders and the responsibility that brings within our organizations and communities. This is some of the best training I have attended in over 40 years of law enforcement.” Scott Johnson, Chief of Police – Grand Rapids (MN) Police Department

“Travis is one of the best in the business. In the many years I have known and worked with Travis I have always found him to be an innovator in the training community.

Simply put – anything Travis does will be done well.” Tony Scotti, Vehicle Dynamics Institute
